Friday 27th May  Day 56– Prague to the outskirts – Dolni Počernice: a mooch through the city of 11miles  

1/6/2016

Leaving the youth hostel and walking away from the River Vitava, I stumble upon a beautiful small park opposite grand terraced houses (one with New York enscribed on it) called Havlicek Gardens or Park – built in Renaissance style (I looked that up – I wouldn’t have had a clue!) – there were fountains and strange rock formations and well maintained gardens.  There were signs to “Pavilon” and “Vila” (sic) with winding paths lined with benches.  Best of all, the view over Prague from the Grōbe Villa was stunning.  Couldn’t have planned it better. 

It was then a steep walk down cobbled streets from the Park into what might have been a quite trendy area if the few shops I spotted were anything to go by – a wonderful children’s bookshop called Baobab where I spent a good half hour browsing, and opposite, a small textile shop which made (by the look of it) bespoke socks, children’s clothes and anigarumi (eclectic, then). 

From there, I gradually made my way out of town and the landscape got more residential with the large highrise blocks of flats I’ve come to expect in Eastern Europe– and an enormous shopping mall with a Tesco, Macdonalds etc.  I took a picture of a modern multicoloured office block that I couldn’t take my eyes off.
​
Gradually the buildings spaced out, and I moved away from the main arteries of the city onto back roads and I came upon a camp site, where I decided to stay for the night.

Looks wonderful, Terri, especially the bookshop! Anything in English?

YES! - a small shelf full - (including a book all about peeing - yes, you read that correctly) but I couldn't afford the weight on the bicycle, sadly. I did buy some cut out picture cards (to make 3d hangings) to send back home.
